Cost of Living in Australia
Aussies would normally eat brunch for lunch and brunch again in the afternoon. It’s just the way they do it. But if you are on a budget, a dozen eggs for more or less USD 3.14 and a loaf of white bread at USD 1.7 can make you a nice breakfast for a good one week! A daily dose of cappuccino at USD 2.91 or a can of coke at USD 2.30 to keep you up for the day, is not so much of a luxury too. If you’d like to eat out, a good Mcdonalds meal can cost you USD 8.36, so might as well manage the frequency of fast food dining. Should you be able to keep yourself responsible at budgeting for food, a good USD 600 can last for a week’s consumption.
